Which music server to buy?

I am considering bulding my own server, is it really as simple as buying the NAS, loading either iTunes or Squeezecenter and controlling with their interface?

What NAS should I buy? I want it to be able to function with NO PC.

I also want it to do multiroom as well as doing duty in my hi-end setup. I love the Squeeze stuff, but wondering if iTunes would work the same with multiroom using airport expresses where needed.....could it stream different music to different rooms?

Interesting Thread... I'm also wanting to upgrade in this area. I'm mostly into vinyl but have a few hundred CD's and also close to 100 albums as FLAC files. I'm currently using a Denon 2910 universal player.

I have been looking at several CD players like the Cambridge and Rega units but also thought that a music server may be better. I was looking at a self-contained unit like the Escient Fireball MX-111, and just storing the music on the internal hard drive. Single room into 1 system.

How does this type of server compare to what you are doing?

Thanks,
Paul
